The insurance for new hires is a distasteful reality, but it’s the company’s problem and only the company’s problem.
The reason it is only the company's problem is because we didn't make it our problem. I think it should have been part of the survey (and forgive me if it was, but I don't remember seeing it), and the survey result should have been available to the pilot group. Most pilots against sponsoring first year: fine I won't complain, but to suggest it is never our problem without asking if we want to make it our problem is wrong. (and no, I am not in California)
